Probably in getting used to the forms of the language, but for best results you will want to stay near things you can almost understand. I had two relevant experiences: (1) graduate school advisor told the lab to copy down one paper per week by hand. After a while you learned to copy mindlessly and stopped learning from it. (2) listened to the same second language content 100+ times while commuting and it really helped to build an intuition for what was being said and how to say it.
